rear fuel tank - bad line

Hello all.

My 94 ext cab 4x4 with the 5.8 has a leak in one of the rear tank's braided lines. Not sure which of the two it is (outflow and return?). It's the one that connects to the right terminal when I am at the rear of the truck looking at the fuel tank.

Do I have to remove the front fuel tank to change the line? I am not with the truck right now and would like to know so that I can plan for this repair - I have a trip coming up.

I have the rear tank off right now and was wondering if the front has to come off as well

Thanks!

Just pull the bed. Then you can reach anything you might need to get at.

I didn't get my shop floor poured in time last fall so I am doing the work outside. Not a deal-breaker, but I am doing the work alone - that's my deal-breaker so I won't be pulling the bed until after my shop is done (and a gantry crane is in there).

The repair will be made using a braided rubber fuel line. I will simply remove the steel-braided portion and clamp on the new line. A piece of 1/2" heater hose will be placed over the new fuel line so that it won't rub on the frame cross member and wear out anytime soon.

Just the new exhaust to install after that and I should be on the road.

Thanks for the response.

Let's just hope the rubber line can stand the pressure!!!!!!
